Richard, originally from Kenilworth, Warks, worked as the sales and marketing director at Timex Group UK, having previously worked for retail giant Amazon.

He was a keen footballer and golfer, and only two months ago watched Coventry City beat Oxford United in the Checkatrade Trophy final at Wembley.

Gavin Crilly-McKean, Senior Vice President International, on behalf of Timex Group UK said: “We are devastated by the tragic news at the loss of Richard and pass our sincere condolences to his family at this difficult time.”
